Episode Details

Springtime in Colorado Springs brings more than just unpredictable weather—it’s the perfect time to uncover the city's best-kept secrets! From tiny treasures like the Kissing Camels sculpture to the quirky legend of Penrose’s hungover glass eye, we’re sharing the hidden gems that make our city so special.

But the real find? The Silent Book Club—a global movement that’s quietly taking over local coffee shops and bars. We sat down with Taylor Rempelos, the powerhouse behind the Colorado Springs chapter, to talk about why people are flocking to this monthly event, how it’s creating a unique community, and why it’s the perfect way to sneak in some self-care (without the small talk!).

Love books? Love quiet? Love a good hidden gem? This episode is for you.
